It's always a good time to play disc golf at McLaren Falls Park. Some might say Autumn's the best.

King's Birthday Bash 2026

Huge thanks to Mike Bartley for taking the snaps all weekend

👑👑THE KINGS BIRTHDAY BASH 2026 👑👑

This last week saw the second Disc Events tournament of the year take place at the epic McLaren Falls Disc Golf course. While the rain held out for us the wind showed up in force at the top of the course. Thanks to all that attended and the positive vibes out there really made the weekend.
Great to see so many come and support the Ace Run Competition with Taylor Kemen hitting it and taking home the $500 prize!! Thanks to those that purchased additional shots we managed to raise $220 to invest back into course upgrades. Keep an eye out for these in the next few months.

Huge Shoutout to our sponsors. We really couldn't put on events like this without your support.
Mando Disc Golf, RPM Discs, OTB Discs, AFT Pharmaceuticals, Pound Disc Golf, The Falls Cafe, and Uncle Dunkles Chilli
